How can I make an EditText with a drop-down in Android?
For reference i have added an image. I am trying to combine an edittext with spinner but I am not able to achieve the same.
Can anyone add suggestion or xml mockup?
Well, You can use a LinearLayout with a horizontal orientation and create a custom drawable for the rounded border.
Implementation
First, you need to draw the rounded border by creating a new Drawable resource file.
In your res/drawables folder create rounded_border.xml
rounded_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#2E2E2E" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Then, you can add the LinearLayout to your layout as follows.
your_layout.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_border"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#null"
android:paddingHorizontal="16dp"
android:text="(504) 596-3245"
android:layout_weight="2"/>
<View
android:layout_width="2dp"
android:background="#2E2E2E"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<Spinner
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:listitem="#layout/spinner_item_text"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
Remarks
You can Customize the border width, color, and radius from the rounded_border.xml.

could refer this lib demo : https://github.com/z2wenfa/SpinnerEditText
could use the lib directly
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.z2wenfa:SpinnerEditText:1.0.1'
}
or could refer: https://github.com/z2wenfa/SpinnerEditText/blob/master/spinneredittext-lib/src/main/java/com/z2wenfa/spinneredittext/SpinnerEditText.java
I just updated my android Studio and every time that I try to change the background color of AppCompatButton the layout gets flat and looses the ripple effect, it wasn't like that.
And normal :
In my old project, works fine too!
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="Login"
android:layout_marginEnd="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="17dp"
android:textColor="#color/primaryDarkColor"
android:layout_marginStart="50dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="12dp"
android:text="Logar"
android:focusable="true" />
A good way to change your buttons background and keep the ripple effect is to create a separate drawable for them.
So you would create a default_button_background.xml with some pre-defined colors
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/button_ripple_color">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="#dimen/button_corner_radius" />
<solid android:color="#color/buttonBackground" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
Then you can assign this drawable to your button background like:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/default_button_background"/>
I need to display the contact name initial letter inside circle like in lollipop contacts. I didn't find any solution.
The circle should different colour for each user.
You can follow this. If you wanna save time you can use this library.
Edit
The link may be invalid any point of time. So I want to add the details below this.
repositories{
maven {
url 'http://dl.bintray.com/amulyakhare/maven'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:1.0.1'
}
You can add which ever methodology you are following.
Basically you have to add one ImageView with same height and width and add this TextDrawable as a background of your view.
TextDrawable drawable = TextDrawable.builder()
.buildRect("A", Color.RED);
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
image.setImageDrawable(drawable);
The library has support for circle,square and rectangle drawables.
I didn't see any library for this but my solution is draw a circle in run time in a predefined layout in your xml use this :
How to draw circle by canvas in Android?
Then in your list adapter choose first letter of each name string using substring(0,1)
,and using setText() you can set list item textView to first letter.
If you need source code let me know to put it for you.
UPDATE:
I recently used very easy approach for this in one of my apps,
you should make a layout like this in your layout folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/rlWeekDay"
android:layout_width="45dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_margin="3dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle_shape">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvWeekDayFirstLetter"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text=" E "
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
And your shape in drawable folder as circle_shape.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval"
android:dither="true">
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="100dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="100dp"
android:topLeftRadius="100dp"
android:topRightRadius="100dp"/>
<solid android:color="#ccc" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="3dp">
<shape android:shape="oval"
android:dither="true">
<solid android:color="#color/white"/> <!-- this one is ths color of the Rounded Button -->
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="100dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="100dp"
android:topLeftRadius="100dp"
android:topRightRadius="100dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then in your listView or recyclerview use this as the item to inflate.like this
Simple and small code to do this -
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="A"
android:clickable="false"
app:backgroundTint="#color/Blue200"
android:padding="0dp"
app:cornerRadius="50dp"
/>
By using a Material Card View and a Textview, it would be easy to create such a view.
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#color/red"
app:cardCornerRadius="50dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/initialTv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="AB" />
</com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>
I am trying to design an EditText Field having Shadows (bottom and right side) like this
tried googling & hunted many SO discussions but all are for TextView not EditText.
This is my code adding shadow to Input Text but not to TextField
<EditText android:id="#+id/txtpin"
android:maxLength="4"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_height="37dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:longClickable="false"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:shadowColor="#color/Black"
android:shadowDx="1.2"
android:shadowDy="1.2"
android:shadowRadius="1.5"
android:background="#color/White">
<requestFocus></requestFocus>
</EditText>
I guess it needs some custom xml view in drawable but not getting exact idea.
What will be the logic to achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well.. #Shalini's answer helped me in this way but still I got another way to achieve 2D shadow with EditText Field and I am going to share with you.
We need to create custom XML view with three layer for EditText,
bottom shadow and right side shadow
Below is my code.
res/drawable/edittext_shadow.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- most important is order of layers -->
<!-- Bottom right side 2dp Shadow -->
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Bottom 2dp Shadow -->
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- White Top color -->
<item android:bottom="3px" android:right="3px">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Now we can set this shadow view to our TextField using "Background" property
like this
res/layout/main.xml
<EditText android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/txtpin"
android:maxLength="4"
android:layout_height="37dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:longClickable="false"
android:padding="2dp"
android:inputType="textPassword|number"
android:password="true"
android:background="#drawable/edittext_shadow"
android:layout_weight="0.98"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp">
<requestFocus></requestFocus>
</EditText>
and the result screen is like I have posted in question above.
Thanks to SO, sharing knowledge.
This works for me..
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:shadowRadius="2"
android:shadowColor="#0000ff"
android:shadowDx="2"
android:shadowDy="4"
android:id="#+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Hope it helps:)
From Shadow Effect for a Text in Android?, perhaps you'd consider using
android:shadowColor,
android:shadowDx,
android:shadowDy,
android:shadowRadius;
Alternatively:
setShadowLayer()
I want to create custom button and I need it to be circle. How can I create a circle button?
I do not think that be possible with draw9patch.
Also I do not know how to make custom button!
Do you have any suggestion?
Use xml drawable like this:
Save the following contents as round_button.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#fa09ad"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#c20586"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Android Material Effect: Although FloatingActionButton is a better option, If you want to do it using xml selector, create a folder drawable-v21 in res and save another round_button.xml there with following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#c20586">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#fa09ad"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
And set it as background of Button in xml like this:
<Button
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:text="hello"
android:textColor="#fff" />
Important:
If you want it to show all these states (enabled, disabled, highlighted etc), you will use selector as described here.
You've to keep both files in order to make the drawable backward-compatible. Otherwise, you'll face weird exceptions in previous android version.

With the official Material Components library you can use the MaterialButton applying a Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon style.
Something like:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon"
app:icon="#drawable/ic_add"
app:iconSize="24dp"
app:iconPadding="0dp"
android:insetLeft="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetRight="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded"
/>
Currently the app:iconPadding="0dp",android:insetLeft,android:insetTop,android:insetRight,android:insetBottom attributes are needed to center the icon on the button avoiding extra padding space.
Use the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute to get rounded corners. In this case you will have a circle.
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
</style>
The final result:
With jetpack compose you can use:
Button(
onClick = { /* Do something! */ },
modifier = Modifier.width(48.dp).height(48.dp),
shape = CircleShape
) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Add, "")
}

For a FAB looking button this style on a MaterialButton:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.ExtendedFloatingActionButton"
app:cornerRadius="28dp"
android:layout_width="56dp"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:text="1" />
Result:
If you change the size be careful to use half of the button size as app:cornerRadius.
You can use MaterialButton from AndroidX material library
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:insetLeft="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetRight="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
app:cornerRadius="50dp"
app:icon="#drawable/ic_camera"
app:iconGravity="textStart"
app:iconPadding="0dp"
app:iconSize="35dp" />
and it will be like this
if you want use VectorDrawable and ConstraintLayout
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/ok_button"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:background="#drawable/circle_button">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/icon_of_button"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_thumbs_up"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_of_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/icon_of_button"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="ok"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</FrameLayout>
circle background: circle_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#41ba7a" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#03ae3c" />
<padding
android:bottom="4dp"

</shape>
Unfortunately using an XML drawable and overriding the background means you have to explicitly set the colour instead of being able to use the app style colours.
Rather than hardcode the button colours for every behaviour I opted to hardcode the corner radius, which feels marginally less hacky and retains all the default button behaviour (changing colour when it's pressed and other visual effects) and uses the app style colours by default:
Set android:layout_height and android:layout_width to the same value
Set app:cornerRadius to half of the height/width
(It actually appears that anything greater than or equal to half of the height/width works, so to avoid having to change the radius every time you update the height/width, you could instead set it to a very high value such as 1000dp, the risk being it could break if this behaviour ever changes.)
Set android:insetBottom and android:insetTop to 0dp to get a perfect circle
For example:
<Button
android:insetBottom="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_width="150dp"
app:cornerRadius="75dp"
/>
here is how you can perform simply, make a drawable resource file in drawable.xml. Say round_button.xml and then paste the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#color/button_start_gradient_color"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/microphone"/>
</layer-list>
Note:- use your own color and drawable resource as i have used #drawable/microphone
Following is the result

If you want to do with ImageButton, use the following. It will create round ImageButton with material ripples.
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_settings_6"
android:background="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:padding="10dp"
/>
Create a new vector asset in the drawable folder.
You can import your PNG image as well, and convert the file to SVG online at https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg. The higher the resolution, the better the conversion will be.
Next, create a new vector asset from that SVG file.
This is a sample vector circle image you can use. Copy the code to an xml file in the drawables folder.
ic_check.xml:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Use this image in your button:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btn_level1"
android:layout_width="36dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:background="#drawable/ic_check"
/>
Your button will be a circle button.
